Soon (most likely in January, but do not wait that long because it will be a gradual process) I, as Avatars Manager, will be permanently removing some avatars from our Standard Avatars category. The reason being that right now there's a ton that do not get used and are from boards that have been closed for ages, or have updated icons available.

Which avatars will be removed:

1. The entire "Older Avatars" category
2. All the old avatars of current boards that already have updated versions
3. All the avatars for boards that have been closed for over 4 years (meaning 2010 - 2013)

So if you want to save any of the avatars mentioned above, I suggest you do it now.

How will the new system work?

1. Open/current boards will be listed under their board category f.e. Matthew Daddario is listed under "Male Celebrities"
2. If you're looking for an avatar of a closed board (younger than 4 years), you can go to the category for the year the board was closed.
3. Milestones and holidays will be a seperate category for all your celebratory needs

(All avatars are listed per category in alphabetical order).

Why this change?

When Rae and I took over as Avatar Managers, we decided to make sure everything was updated and running correctly before trying to really do any big updates. You might know, or you might not, that in previous years (The last time being 2015) there is a huge Standard Avatars update in which all current boards get the chance to submit new Avatars to represent them and I didn't want to organize that before I knew how to sort everything and make sure this all wasn't taking up unnecessary space on the server. I am the single Avatar Manager now, and I have talked about this with the other managers, and we find that this might be the best solution for all our sanity.

I hope you understand, and if you have any questions, feel free to let me know.
